External Contacts Are Displayed Before Same-Domain Contacts

(Enhanced customization available for the Insight panel in all three Riva Insight add-ins: Outlook Web, Windows for Outlook, and IBM Notes.)

Context: In Riva Insight 2018.3, same-domain contacts related to emails and appointments could be configured to appear in the Insight panel. External contacts and same-domain contacts appeared in the order that they were encountered in.

Now: If same-domain contacts are configured to appear, they appear after the external contacts. If the maximum number of contacts that can be displayed is taken up by external contacts, no same-domain contacts are displayed.

To hide the buttons, contact the Riva Success Team.

Office 2016 Compatibility Settings

(Compatibility solution available for the Insight panel in all three Riva Insight add-ins: Outlook Web, Windows for Outlook, and IBM Notes.)

Issue: Updating to Outlook 2016 sometimes causes the Insight panel to be anchored to the left side of the Outlook window instead of its usual location on the right side.

To see the Insight panel in its usual location, try the following:

  1. On the main ribbon, on the File menu, select Options.
  2. In the Outlook Options window, on the General page, select Optimize for compatibility.
  3. Save.

Context: In Riva Insight 2018.3 or earlier, in the Track in CRM window, by default, the Save Attachments? check box is cleared.

Now: Track in CRM can be configured so that by default, the Save Attachments? check box is selected.

To ensure that the check box is selected by default, contact the Riva Success Team.
